Although Middlesbrough MND care centre is not a MND research centre we work very closely with our neighbouring care centres to allow people affected by MND access to clinical trials and to research projects designed to improve understanding of the disease.
Get involved in research
There are a number of ways to get involved in MND research, from tissue donation to questionnaire-based studies.

Tissue donation
People with MND and healthy individuals can make a vital contribution towards research by donating their brain and spinal cord tissue after their death.
Tissue is a word used for a collection of specialised cells within the human body that perform specific jobs and researches investigating MND are particularly interested in the brain and spinal cord to investigate the causes of MND and its symptoms.
Researchers believe the vital clue into combating this disease may lay within the brain and spinal cord.
